About this study

Official title: The IRX-2 Regimen Combined With Nivolumab in Recurrent/Metastatic Solid Tumors: A Phase 1b Study to Evaluate the Safety, Determine Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D), and Investigate the Biologic and Clinical Activity

This study is to determine the safety of IRX-2 Regimen combined with Nivolumab in patients with recurrent metastatic solid tumors. Researchers believe that this combination will have a tolerable safety profile and will increase the response rate in comparison to Nivolumab alone.

Read the detailed description

The first phase of this trial is to establish the safety of IRX-2 Regimen combined with Nivolumab. The IRX-2 Regimen is a 21-day regimen of cyclophosophamide on Day 1 and subcutaneous IRX-2 injections for 10 days between Days 4 and 18. If no dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) are observed during the first 4 weeks of treatment, the enrollment will continue in a dose expansion phase. If there is a study treatment related DLT in 1 of 6 patients, the same dose will be investigated at the dose expansion cohorts. If study treatment related DLT is observed in 2 of 6 patients, accrual will be stopped and new dose levels or treatment sequences will be considered.

Being tested
IRX 2, Nivolumab
Medical subject headings
Neoplasm Metastasis, Recurrence, Carcinoma, Renal Cell, Carcinoma, Transitional Cell, Carcinoma, Squamous Cell, Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Head and Neck

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • IRX 2Drug

    IRX-2 Regimen: 21 day regimen of cyclophosphamide on Day 1 and subcutaneous IRX-2 injections for 10 days between Days 4 and 18. This 21 day regimen will be given every 12 weeks.

  • NivolumabDrug

    Nivolumab 240 mg will be given via IV infusion once every 2 weeks.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants Who Experience Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

    A DLT is defined as any Grade 3 or higher toxicity which occurs during the DLT evaluation period of 4 weeks (during Cycle 1 Day 1 and Cycle 1 Day 28) and considered related to study treatment. Toxicity that is clearly and directly related to the primary disease or to another etiology is excluded.

    Measured: Up to Day 28

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Objective Response Rate

    Objective response determined using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor (RECIST) version 1.1 and Immune Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (iRECIST) criteria.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  2. Progression Free Survival of combination therapy

    Progression free survival defined as the time from Day 1 of treatment to evidence of progression. Progression will be defined by RECIST Version 1.1

    Measured: Up to 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing IRX 2 and Nivolumab in people with Metastatic Cancer and Recurrent Cancer, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 20 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants Who Experience Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) (time frame: Up to Day 28). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Apr 2023.
